The following line, from /etc/ttys, will never be used:

 ttyv1 "/etc/athena/xdm/xlogin -L -config /etc/athena/xdm/xlogin-config -display unix:0" xterm off secure window="/etc/Xibm :0" #foobar

ttyv0 invokes Xibm with the "-all" option, so it is not possible to run another
X server.  

Are we ever going to get rid of the "#foobar" comment?  It serves no useful
purpose except to generate flames to bugs.
